"A Sunday Booze Resort for Washington Toughs"; this was broken up, 

 however, and there is nothing approaching that to be found in the 

 county now. 



Social Life 



Not much needs to be added under this head. Broadly speaking, the 

 communities which are definitely organized are apt to be very social 

 communities; those which are not are correspondingly less so. In the 

 suburban sections, circumstances are different from elsewhere in the 

 county. The suburb is "neither flesh, fish nor fowl"; it differs from 

 the city and the country alike. In communities here which have been 

 settled up for some time and by a fairly homogeneous group, there 

 is considerable local social life; Kensington is a case in point here. 

 In other sections where the population is more shifting, more 

 recent or more diverse, there is little social life. Along the District 

 of Columbia line, in Takoma Park and parts of Bethesda, there is con- 

 siderable social dependence upon Washington; here, though, there is 

 coming to be more local social life. The many Citizens' Improvement 

 Associations are encouraging this. Throughout the county, the same 

 classes which we have said were practically without social organization 

 and recreation facilities, are also practically without social life of any sort.
